Brendale business named among best trainers

Brendale-based Spencer Constructions is among 11 metropolitan winners heading to the state finals of the Queensland Training Awards next month.

Brisbane’s best trainers, trainees and apprentices were recognised at a stellar awards night on Friday, 27 July at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition
Centre.

Spencer Constructions, a family-owned business, took out Small Employer of the Year, while ‘CityCat’ boat construction company, Norman R. Wright &
Sons, took out the gong for Medium Employer of the Year.

Minister for Education and Minister for Industrial Relations Grace Grace represented Minister for Training and Skills Development, Ms Shannon Fentiman
at the finals.

Ms Fentiman said the 11 winners would represent Metropolitan Queensland at the Queensland Training Awards State Gala Dinner on 8 September in Brisbane.

“Celebrating the fantastic work so many people are doing in Queensland’s training sector is important, as the state needs more skilled workers and businesses
that support people to build careers in their industry,” she said.

Spencer Constructions was also a finalist at the recent Telstra Business Queensland Awards (Queensland Small and Succeeding category).
